South of Yosemite Selected Writings of John Muir
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Lightning Source Inc
- Publish date: 03/01/1988
In 1912 Muir published The Yosemite, a guidebook to one of our first national parks, but he never produced a book on the region south of this. Instead, he left a legacy of journal entries, letters, and newspapers and magazine articles written during the 1870s in a fever of discovery. From these jottings and essays, some of the most stimulating of which are presented here, we are able to gain insight into John Muir's outlook -- his love for the mountains and for their wild sheep, squirrels, and birds; his understanding of the forces of nature that shaped this awesome landscape; and his long and constant battle to save our heritage from destruction by his fellow-men.
